Roeder admits to killing abortion doctor Tiller

Scott Roeder confessed Monday to killing Wichita abortion doctor George Tiller, saying he had no regrets because "preborn children were in imminent danger."

In a 20-minute phone call from the Sedgwick County Jail, Roeder told The Kansas City Star that he believed shooting Tiller saved lives.

"I've already been told that there's at least four women that have changed their minds and are going to have their babies," Roeder said. "Even if it was one woman, then who would have a regret for a motive of protecting preborn children? That was the motive."

Roeder, of Kansas City, is charged with first-degree murder in the May 31 shooting death of Tiller. His trial is scheduled for Jan. 11.
